growth policies. The Bank will continue building on its footprint to expand income streams

liabilities.

Objectives of Shariah:

•

The operation of the Bank is governed by Section 28 and 29 of the Islamic Financial Services Act

2013 ("IFSA"), which stipulates that “any licensed institution shall at all times ensure that its aims

and operations, business, affairs and activities are in compliance with Shariah and in accordance

with the advice or ruling of Shariah Advisory Council ("SAC"), specify standards on Shariah

matters in respect of the carrying on of its business, affair and activities” and Section IV of BNM’s

“Guidelines on the Governance of Shariah Committee for The Islamic Financial Institutions”

known as the Shariah Governance Framework ("SGF") (which supersedes the BNM/GPS 1),

which stipulates that “Every Islamic institution is required to establish a Shariah Committee”.

Based on the above, the duties and responsibilities of the Bank’s Shariah Committee are to

advise on the overall Islamic Banking operations of the Bank’s business in order to ensure

compliance with the Shariah requirements.

As one of the leading Islamic financial institutions in the world, Maybank Islamic Berhad

(“Maybank Islamic” or “the Bank”) aims to generate positive and sustainable impact to the

economy, community and environment in the markets we operate in. Central to our purpose is

upholding the objectives of Shariah in which we enjoin the welfare of humankind by way of

preserving religion, life, intellect, wealth and lineage.

The roles of the Shariah Committee in monitoring the Bank’s activities include:

To advise the Board on Shariah matters in its business operations;

Preservation of religion: Encouraging believers to invite others to faith, warding off aggression

against the religion and accepting freedom of belief.

2. INTERNAL CONTROL FRAMEWORK

INTRODUCTION

GOVERNANCE AND OVERSIGHT

The Board of Directors

Shariah Committee

The Board has the overall responsibility for establishing a sound risk management and

internal control system and reviewing its adequacy and effectiveness. Recognising the

importance of a sound risk management and internal control system, the Board has

established the governance structure and frameworks to ensure effective oversight of

risks and controls.

The Board has delegated its governance and oversight functions to its Board Committee,

i.e. the Board Investment Committee, as well as Maybank Group Board level Committees,

namely, Audit Committee, Risk Management Committee, Compliance Committee, Credit

Review Committee, Nomination and Remuneration Committee and Employees' Share

Grant Plan Committee.

In pursuant to the requirement under the BNM Corporate Governance Policy Document,

the internal control framework is presented herewith outlining the key features of rules

governing Maybank Islamic’s organisational and operational structure, including reporting

processes and control functions.

Under the leverage model, Islamic business operations are residing in Maybank Group.

Hence, Maybank Islamic is similarly adopting Maybank Group's risk management and

internal control system with customisation where required to address the Bank’s internal

control environment.

The Board has appointed an independent Shariah Committee (“SC”) to provide decision,

views and opinions related to Shariah matters, as well as perform oversight role on

Shariah matters related to the business operations and activities to ensure compliance

with Shariah. Among its main duties and responsibilities are to provide relevant advice to

the Board and the management in addition to assessing the work carried out by Shariah

Review and Compliance and Shariah Audit.

duties between the lines of defence, which include the following:

The Management Committee of the Bank is established to assist and support the Board

to oversee the core areas of business operations and implement the Board’s policies and

procedures on risks and controls. Maybank Islamic is also leveraging on the various

KEY ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM

Risk Management Framework

Establish risk appetite &

strategy

Assign adequate capital

The risk appetite which is approved by the Board,

articulates the nature, type and level of risk the Bank is

willing to assume.

The approach to capital management is driven by

strategic objectives and accounts for the relevant

regulatory, economic and commercial environments in

which the Bank operates.

Controls to mitigate risks are adequate and effectively

executed by the first line.

The key elements of the internal control system established by the Board that provides

effective governance and oversight of internal control include:

Risk management has evolved into an important driver for strategic decisions in support

of business strategies while balancing the appropriate level of risk taken to the desired

level of rewards. As risk management is a core discipline of the Bank, it is underpinned by

a set of key principles which serve as the foundation in driving strong risk management

culture, practices and processes:

Description

Adequate oversight by the second line over the first line.

Principles

Internal control frameworks, policies and tools are sufficiently

robust and consistent with regulatory standards.

Provide reasonable assurance via independent assessment,

The Compliance Management Framework provides the fundamental policies and

guidelines on compliance management and oversight for Maybank Islamic. This

Framework serves as a key tool for compliance officers alongside the Board, the

management and all the employees of the Bank in understanding, complying and

managing compliance risk.

Robust risk management processes are in place to

actively identify, measure, control, monitor and report risks

inherent in all products and activities undertaken by the

Bank.

defined, transparent and consistent lines of responsibility

established within the Bank.

33

787435-M






Shariah Governance Framework

Risk Appetite

The risk appetite is a critical component of a robust risk management framework which is

driven by both top-down Board leadership and bottom-up involvement of management at

all levels. The risk appetite enables the Board and senior management to communicate,

understand and assess the types and levels of risk that the Bank is willing to accept in

pursuit of its business and strategic goals while taking into consideration constraints

under stressed environment.

The risk appetite is integrated into the strategic planning process, and remains dynamic

and responsive to the changing internal and external drivers such as market conditions,

stakeholders' expectations and internal capabilities. In addition, the budgeting process is

aligned to the risk appetite in ensuring that projected revenues arising from business

transactions are consistent with the risk profile established. Our risk appetite also

provides a consistent structure in understanding risk and is embedded in day to day

business activities and decisions.

Guided by these principles, our risk appetite is articulated through a set of Risk Appetite

Statements for all material risks across the Bank to ultimately balance the strategic

objectives of the Bank.

Maybank Islamic has in place a Shariah Governance Framework, which sets out

the expectations of the Shariah governance structures, processes and arrangements

within the Bank. This is to ensure its operations and business activities are in accordance

with Shariah, as well as to provide comprehensive guidance to the Board, Shariah

Committee (“SC”) and the management in discharging their duties in matters relating to

Shariah.

A sound and robust SC or Shariah Governance Framework is reflected by effective and

responsible Board and management, independent SC that is both competent and

accountable supported by strong internal Shariah functions comprising of Shariah

Management, Shariah Risk under Risk Management, Shariah Audit and Shariah Review

and Compliance functions.

34

787435-M






Risk and Compliance Culture

Cyber and Technology Risk Management Policy and Guideline

The risk and compliance culture of Maybank Islamic is driven with a strong tone from the

top, complemented by the tone from the middle, to ingrain the expected values and

principles of conduct that shape the behaviour and attitude of employees at all level of

business and activities across the Bank. Risk and compliance frameworks and policies

are clearly defined, consistently communicated and continuously reinforced throughout

the Bank, to embed a robust culture that cultivates active identification, assessment and

mitigation of risk as part of the responsibility of all employees across the Bank.

As part of the risk and compliance culture, the Bank has instilled a compliance culture

where the Board, senior management and every employee of the Bank are committed to

adhere to the requirement of relevant laws, rules and regulations. This commitment is

clearly demonstrated through the establishment and strengthening of policies, processes

and controls in managing and preventing non-compliances.

The Cyber Risk Management Policy is established based on the National Institute of

Standards and Technology, US (NIST) standards which emphasises on controls from

identifying risks, building resilience, detecting cyber threats and effectively responding to

cyber related events. The policy encompasses the cyber risk management strategy,

governance structure and risk management enablers. It complements the Technology

Risk Management Guideline and covers both business and technology drivers from an

end to end perspective, which focuses on the key layers of People, Process and

Technology.

Technology Risk Management Guideline sets the standards for identifying on the risk and

required controls in organisation’s technology related functionalities and taking the

appropriate risk remedial actions. This is established to standardise the technology

operation's environment which will increase high service levels to customers as well as

business units.

Sustainability Management

Management of Information Assets

Confidentiality, integrity and availability of information are critical to the day-to-day

operations and strategic decision making of Maybank Islamic. To safeguard the

information assets of the Bank, the Information Risk Management Guideline is

established to clearly define the processes for effective management of information

assets and its associated risks. Guided by information handling rules in alignment to the

information lifecycle, all information must be properly managed, controlled and protected.

Additional measures include reinforcing the clear desk policy to minimise information

leakage/theft and fraud.

Regular Updates and Communication of Risk Management Principles, Policies,

Procedures and Practices

Risk management principles, policies, procedures and practices are reviewed and

updated regularly to ensure relevance to the current business environment as well as

compliance with current/applicable laws and regulations. Maybank Islamic has a

dedicated risk management function to facilitate establishment and review of these

documents and ensure their implementation within the Bank.

Operating in a sustainable manner is an organic part of the Bank’s approach to its core

business. Our long term financial success depends upon our ability to identify and

address environmental, social and ethical issues that present risks or opportunities for our

business. A five year Sustainability Plan is in place, with the aim of generating long-lasting

impact and value across three pillars: Community and Citizenship, Our People and

Access to Products and Services; by integrating environmental, social and governance

(“ESG”) practices into our ‘business-as-usual’ as part of our commitment to all

stakeholders, which are supported by relevant policies and systems.

Management of Information Assets (cont'd.)

Anti-Fraud Policy

Reputational Risk Policy

Core Values and Code of Ethics and Conduct

Maybank Islamic observes the Islamic code and values. The Shariah is the overarching

principle steering the Bank at all times in all its businesses and operations. In addition, the

Maybank Group’s core values, T.I.G.E.R. (Teamwork, Integrity, Growth, Excellence and

Efficiency, Relationship Building) are the essential guiding principles to drive behavioural

ethics. It is further complemented by the Code of Ethics and Conduct that sets out sound

principles and standards of good practice observed by all.

Protecting our reputation is paramount to operating as an institution that provides financial

services. Upholding trust forms a vital part of our obligation as a financial institution.

Hence, the way in which we conduct ourselves through engagements with markets,

regulators, customers, and the communities we serve is crucial. Given the importance of

reputation, Reputational Risk Policy is implemented to effectively manage reputational

risk and to institutionalise awareness on and its consequences. The policy outlines the

roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders and the guiding principles to protect the

Bank’s reputation.

The Anti-Fraud Policy outlines the vision, principles and strategies for the Group to instil a

culture of vigilance to effectively manage fraud from detection to remedy, and to deter

future occurrences. Robust and comprehensive tools and programmes are employed to

reinforce the Policy, with clear roles and responsibilities outlined at every level of the

organisation in promoting high standards of integrity in every employee. Stern disciplinary

action is taken against employees involved in fraud.

With the increased adoption of technology capabilities and the increasing risk of cyber

threats, information security has been among the key focus area. Technology controls are

applied at various stages of the information cycle. Amongst the controls are Data Loss

Protection to protect and prevent potential data loss or theft. Additionally, the

establishment of Information Assets Working Group (IAWG) to deliberate and formulate

data protection measures further strengthen the controls and mitigate the risk of

information breach.

38

787435-M






Independent Assurance by Group Audit

The principal responsibility of IA is to evaluate effectiveness of the governance, risk

management and internal control framework and to assess whether risks, which may

hinder the organisation from achieving its objectives, are adequately evaluated, managed

and controlled. It provides risk-based and objective assurance, advice and insight to

stakeholders with the aim of enhancing and protecting organisational values and

supporting the organisation to achieve its goals.

The Internal Audit ("IA") function of Maybank Islamic Berhad (MIB) is undertaken by

Maybank Group Audit, led by the Group Chief Audit Executive ("GCAE"). The GCAE is

supported by a team of qualified auditors with the requisite knowledge in Shariah and

Islamic business. To maintain its independence, the IA function is placed under the direct

authority and supervision of Maybank's Audit Committee of the Board ("ACB"), with

administrative reporting to the Group President & Chief Executive Officer ("GPCEO").

The IA processes and activities are guided by the Audit Charter and governed by the

relevant regulatory guidelines, Group’s Code of Ethics and The Institute of Internal

Auditor’s ("IIA") mandatory guidance established under the International Professional

Practices Framework ("IPPF").

At Maybank Islamic, we embrace an integrated rewards strategy that focusses on

providing the right remuneration, benefits and career development/progression

aspirations. It involves integration of total rewards’ key elements that are aligned to the

Maybank Group strategy, Maybank Group Human Capital strategy, culture and Core

Values T.I.G.E.R., to create motivated, engaged and productive employees. This

outcome will in turn create desired business performance for sustainable growth.

The Bank’s remuneration policy is approved by the Board and is subject to periodic

monitoring and reviewing. The remuneration policy reinforces a high performance

culture to attract, motivate and retain talent through market competitive and

differentiated pay.

Maybank Group rewards’ principles are delivered holistically via the Maybank Group’s

Total Rewards Framework which include base pay, other fixed cash, performance-

based variable cash, long- term incentive awards, benefits and development.

Key Elements

peers and location, and internally aligned with

consideration of differences in individual

performance and achievements, skill set, job scope

as well as competency level.

Reinforce pay-for-performance culture and

Employee benefits provide employees with financial

protection, access to health care, paid time-off,

staff financing at preferential rates, programmes to

programmes which blend all elements including

cost optimisation and employee/job needs, are

reviewed regularly with proactive actions taken to

business landscape and continuously enrich our

employees, as part of our total rewards strategy.

Total Compensation ensures that employees are paid equitably to the market,

delivered via cash and share/share-linked instruments. The mixed of cash and

shares/shares-linked instruments is aligned to our long-term value creation and time

horizon of risk with targeted mix ratio. The target positioning of Base Pay is mid-

market while target positioning for Total Compensation for a performer is to be within

the Upper Range of market. Target positioning for benefits is mid-market. In certain

markets/geographies, there may be exceptions for selected benefits with above mid-

market positioning for strategic purposes. As Maybank Group operates globally, it is

essential that local legislation and practices are observed. Should any clause of any

policy conflict with local legislation, local legislations shall take precedence.

787435-M






Remuneration Practices

Performance Management principles ensure Key Performance Indicators ("KPI")

continue to focus on outcomes delivered that is aligned to the business plans. Each of

the senior officers and other material risk takers carry Risk, Governance & Compliance

goals in their individual scorecard and are cascaded accordingly. Being a responsible

organisation, the right KPI setting continues to shape the organisational culture,

actively drive risk and compliance agenda effectively where inputs from control

functions and Board Committees are incorporated into the Sector and individual

performance results.

As part of the overall corporate governance framework, the Bank ensures its

remuneration policies and structure are in line with the requirement of governance

regulations. From a risk management perspective, the remuneration policy is

supported by strong governance and sensitive to risk outcomes.

Staff rewards are reviewed on annual basis and consistent with business performance

and prudent risk management. Appropriately, involvement by the relevant control

functions are sufficiently embedded to provide an independent and objective

assessment of the remuneration principles and practices which are pre-requisites for

executing a sound remuneration policy.

The Bank has good internal governance on performance and remuneration of control

functions which are measured and assessed independently from the business units

they support to avoid any conflict of interests. Remuneration of the control functions is

approved by the respective committees of the Board.

Notes to the financial statements - 31 December 2018

1. Corporate information

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation and presentation of the financial statements

The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in accordance with the

Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”), International Financial Reporting

Standards ("IFRS"), and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.

The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared under the historical cost basis

unless otherwise indicated in the summary of significant accounting policies disclosed in

Note 2.2.

The Bank presents the statement of financial position in the order of liquidity.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amounts are reported in the

statement of financial position of the Bank only when there is a legally enforceable right to

offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to

realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Income and expenses are not

offset in the income statement of the Bank unless required or permitted by an accounting

standard or interpretation, and as specifically disclosed in the accounting policies of the

Bank.

The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) and all values are

rounded to the nearest thousand (RM’000), unless otherwise stated.

The Bank is principally engaged in the business of Islamic Banking and the provision of

2.2 Summary of significant accounting policies

(i)

(a) Date of recognition

(b) Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

•

•

•

(1)

•

•

The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective

to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified

dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and profit

("SPPP") on the principal amount outstanding.

Fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), as explained in Note

2.2(i)(b)(3).

Included in financial assets are the following:

Financial assets at amortised cost

From 1 January 2018, the Bank measures financial assets at amortised

cost if both of the following conditions are met:

Amortised cost, as explained in Note 2.2(i)(b)(1);

Fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), as explained

in Note 2.2(i)(b)(2); or

Before 1 January 2018, the Bank classified its financial assets as financing

and receivables (amortised cost), FVTPL, held-to-maturity (amortised cost) or

available-for-sale, as explained in Note 2.2(i)(b)(1), 2.2(i)(b)(3), 2.2(i)(b)(4) and

2.2(i)(b)(5) respectively.

Financial assets

All financial assets are initially recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that

the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provision of the instruments. This

includes regular way trades, purchases or sales of financial assets that require

delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention

in the market place.

All financial assets are measured initially at their fair value plus directly

attributable transaction costs, except in the case of financial assets recorded

at fair value through profit or loss.

From 1 January 2018, the Bank classify all of its financial assets based on the

business model for managing the assets and the asset's contractual cash flow

characteristics, measured at either:

787435-M




2.2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd.)

(i)

(b) Initial recognition and subsequent measurement (cont'd.)

(1)

The details of these conditions are outlined below:

i) The SPPP test

ii) Business model assessment

Financial assets (cont'd.)

The Bank determine its business model at the level that best reflects

how groups of financial assets are managed to achieve its business

objective.

Financial assets at amortised cost (cont'd.)

As a second step of its classification process, the Bank assess the

contractual terms of financial assets to identify whether they meet the

SPPP test.

‘Principal’ for the purpose of this test is defined as the fair value of the

financial asset at initial recognition and may change over the life of the

financial asset (for example, if there are repayments of principal or

amortisation of the premium/discount).

The most significant elements of profit within a financing arrangement

are typically the consideration for the time value of money and credit

risk. To make the SPPP assessment, the Bank applies judgement

and considers relevant factors such as the currency in which the

financial asset is denominated, and the period for which the profit rate

is set.

In contrast, contractual terms that introduce a more than de minimis

exposure to risks or volatility in the contractual cash flows that are

unrelated to a basic financing arrangement do not give rise to

contractual cash flows that are SPPP on the principal amount

outstanding. In such cases, the financial asset is required to be

measured at FVTPL.

60

787435-M





(i)


(1)

The details of these conditions are outlined below:

ii) Business model assessment (cont'd.)

•

•

•

•

The business model assessment is based on reasonably expected

scenarios without taking 'worst case' or 'stress case’ scenarios into

account. If cash flows after initial recognition are realised in a way that

is different from the Bank's original expectations, the Bank does not

change the classification of the remaining financial assets held in that

business model, but incorporate such information when assessing

newly originated or newly purchased financial assets going forward.

Included in financial assets at amortised cost are cash and short-term

funds, deposits and placements with financial institutions, financial assets

purchased under resale agreements, financial investments and financing

and advances as disclosed in the respective notes to the financial

statements.

The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and

the financial assets held within that business model) and, in

particular, the way those risks are managed;

How managers of the business are compensated (for example,

whether the compensation is based on the fair value of the assets

managed or on the contractual cash flows collected); and

The expected frequency, value and timing of sales are also

important aspects of the Bank’s assessment.

How the performance of the business model and the financial

assets held within that business model are evaluated and reported

to the key management personnel;


Financial assets at amortised cost (cont'd.)

The Bank's business model is not assessed on an instrument-by-

instrument basis, but at a higher level of aggregated portfolios and is

based on observable factors such as:

61

787435-M





(i)


(2)

•

•

Included in financial asset FVOCI are financial investments and financing

and advances to customers.


Fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI")

The Bank applies the new category under MFRS 9 of debt instruments

measured at FVOCI when both of the following conditions are met:

The instrument is held within a business model, the objective of which

is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling

financial assets; and

These instruments largely comprises of financial assets that had

previously been classified as financial investments available-for-sale

under MFRS 139.

The contractual terms of the financial assets meet the SPPP test.

Financial assets at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with

gains and losses arising due to changes in fair value recognised in Other

Comprehensive Income ("OCI"). Finance income and foreign exchange

gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the same manner as

for financial assets measured at amortised cost. Where the Bank hold

more than one investment in the same security, they are deemed to be

disposed-off on a first-in-first-out basis. On derecognition, cumulative

gains or losses previously recognised in OCI are reclassified from OCI to

profit or loss.

Equity instruments are normally measured at FVTPL. However, for non-

traded equity instruments, with an irrevocable option at inception, the

Bank measure the changes through FVOCI (without recycling profit or

loss upon derecognition).

(i)


(3)

•

•

The designation eliminates or significantly reduces the accounting

mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or

liabilities or recognising gains or losses on them on a different basis;

or

The assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets,

financial liabilities or both, which are managed and their performance

evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk

management or investment strategy.

Included in financial assets at FVTPL are financial investments, financial

assets designated upon initial recognition and derivatives.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets held-for-trading and

financial assets designated at FVTPL are recorded in the statement of

financial position at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in the

income statement under the caption of 'other operating income'.

From 1 January 2018, financial assets at FVTPL are those that are held-

for-trading and have been either designated by management upon initial

recognition or are mandatorily required to be measured at fair value under

MFRS 9. Management designates an instrument at FVTPL upon initial

recognition when one of the following criteria are met. Such designation

is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis:


Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL")

Before 1 January 2018, financial assets at FVTPL include financing and

advances to customers, financial assets held-for-trading ("HFT") and

financial assets designated at FVTPL upon initial recognition. Financial

assets are classified as held-for-trading if they are acquired for the

purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including

separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held-for-trading

unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments as defined by

MFRS 139.

Financial investments available-for-sale ("AFS") (Policy applicable

Financial investments AFS are financial assets that are not classified in

any of the three (3) preceding categories:

Financial investments AFS include equity and debt securities. Financial

investments in this category are intended to be held for an indefinite

period of time and which may be sold in response to liquidity needs or

changes in market conditions.

Financial investments HTM are non-derivative financial assets with fixed

or determinable payments and fixed maturity, which the Bank have the

intention and ability to hold to maturity.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial investments HTM are

measured at amortised cost using the effective profit method, less

accumulated impairment losses. Amortised cost is calculated by taking

into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are an

integral part of the effective profit rate. The amortisation is included in the

income statement under the caption of 'finance income and hibah'. The

losses arising from impairment and the gain or loss arising from

derecognition of such investments are recognised in the income

statements.

If the Bank were to sell or reclassify more than an insignificant amount of

financial investments HTM before maturity (other than in certain specific

circumstances), the entire category would be tainted and would have to

be reclassified as financial investments available-for-sale. Furthermore,

the Bank would be prohibited from classifying any financial investments

as held-to-maturity over the following two (2) years.

Derecognition

Derecognition due to substantial modification of terms and conditions

The Bank derecognises a financial asset, such as a financing to a

customer, when the terms and conditions have been renegotiated to the

extent that, substantially, it becomes a new financing with the difference

recognised as a derecognition gain or loss, to the extent that an

impairment loss has not already been recorded.

The newly recognised financing are classified as Stage 1 for ECL

measurement purposes, unless the new financing is deemed to be

purchased or originated credit-impaired ("POCI").

If the modification does not result in cash flows that are substantially

different, the modification does not result in derecognition. Based on the

change in cash flows discounted at the original effective profit rate

("EPR"), the Bank record a modification gain or loss, to the extent that an

impairment loss has not already been recorded.

A financial asset is derecognised when there is substantial modification of

terms and conditions or factors other than substantial modification.


Financial investments available-for-sale ("AFS") (Policy applicable

before 1 January 2018) (cont'd.)

After initial recognition, financial investments AFS are subsequently

measured at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses are recognised

directly in other comprehensive income and in the 'AFS reserves', except

for impairment losses, foreign exchange gains or losses on monetary

financial assets and profit income calculated using the effective profit

method are recognised in the income statement. Dividends on financial

investments AFS are recognised in the income statement when the

Bank's right to receive payment is established. When the Bank

derecognises financial investments AFS, the cumulative unrealised gain

or loss previously recognised in the ‘AFS reserves’ is reclassified to the

income statement under the caption of 'other operating income'.

• The Bank have no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual

the amount financed plus accrued profit at market rates;

• The Bank cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as

security to the eventual recipients; and

• The Bank have to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the

eventual recipients without material delay. In addition, the Bank is not

entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for investments in cash or

cash equivalents including profit earned, during the period between

the collection date and the date of required remittance to the eventual

Pass-through arrangements are transactions whereby the Bank retain the

contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial asset (the

'original asset'), but assume a contractual obligation to pay those cash

flows to one or more entities (the 'eventual recipients'), when all of the

following three conditions are met:


Derecognition (cont'd.)

Derecognition other than for substantial modification

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part

of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

The rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired;

or

The transfer of financial asset is as set out below and the transfer

qualifies for derecognition.

The Bank have transferred the financial asset if, and only if, either:

• The Bank have transferred its contractual rights to receive cash

flows from the financial asset; or

• It retains the rights to the cash flows, but has assumed an

obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material

delay to a third party under a ‘pass–through’ arrangement.

Derecognition (cont'd.)

Derecognition other than for substantial modification (cont'd.)

A transfer only qualifies for derecognition if either the Bank have:

Transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or

• Neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards

of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

The Bank considers control to be transferred if and only if, the transferee

has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third

party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without imposing

additional restrictions on the transfer.

When the Bank has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the

risks and rewards and have retained control of the asset, the asset

continues to be recognised only to the extent of the Bank's continuing

involvement, in which case, the Bank also recognises an associated

liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured

on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Bank has

retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the

transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount

of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration the Bank could be

required to pay.

If continuing involvement takes the form of a written or purchased option

(or both) on the transferred asset, the continuing involvement is measured

at the value the Bank would be required to pay upon repurchase. In the

case of a written put option on an asset that is measured at fair value, the

extent of the entity's continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the

fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.

The MFRS 9 impairment requirements are based on an Expected Credit Loss

(“ECL”) model that replaces the Incurred Loss model under the MFRS 139.

The ECL model applies to financial assets measured at amortised cost or at

FVOCI, irrevocable financing commitments and financial guarantee contracts,

which include financing and advances and and debt instruments held by the

the Bank. The ECL model also applies to contract assets under MFRS 15

Revenue from Contracts with Customers and lease receivables under MFRS

117 Leases .

The measurement of expected credit loss involves increased complexity and

judgement that include:

(i) Determining a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition

The assessment of significant deterioration since initial recognition is key

in establishing the point of switching between the requirement to measure

an allowance based on 12-month ECL and one that is based on lifetime

ECL. The quantitative and qualitative assessments are required to

estimate the significant increase in credit risk by comparing the risk of a

default occurring on the financial assets as at reporting date with the risk

of default occurring on the financial assets as at the date of initial

recognition.

The Bank applies a three-stage approach based on the change in credit

quality since initial recognition:


Impairment of financial assets (Policy applicable from 1 January 2018)

68

787435-M





(i)

(d)

(iv) Financial investments at FVOCI

(iii) Expected life

Lifetime ECL must be measured over the expected life. This is restricted

to the maximum contractual life and takes into account expected

prepayment, extension, call and similar options, except for certain revolver

financial instruments such as credit cards and cashline. The expected life

for these revolver facilities generally refers to its behavioural life.

There are three main components to measure ECL which are a probability

of default model ("PD"), a loss given default model ("LGD") and an

exposure at default model ("EAD"). The model is to leverage as much as

possible on the Bank's existing Basel II models and performed the

required adjustments to produce MFRS 9 compliant model.

MFRS 9 does not distinguish between individual assessment and

collective assessment. Therefore, the Bank have decided to continue

measure the impairment mainly on an individual transaction basis for

financial assets that are deemed to be individually significant, and

collectively assess for other financial assets per Group's policy.

The ECL for financial investments measured at FVOCI do not reduce the

carrying amount of these financial assets in the statement of financial

position, which remains at fair value. Instead, an amount equal to the

allowance that would arise if the assets were measured at amortised cost

is recognised in OCI as an accumulated impairment amount, with a

corresponding charge to profit or loss. The accumulated loss recognised

in OCI is recycled to the profit and loss upon derecognition of the assets.

The Bank applies the following three alternative macroeconomic

scenarios to reflect an unbiased probability-weighted range of possible

Base scenario: This scenario reflects that current macroeconomic

conditions continue to prevail; and

Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") growth;

Unemployment rates;

House Price Indices; and

Bank Negara Malaysia ("BNM") policy rates

(v) Forward-looking information

ECL are the unbiased probability-weighted credit losses determined by

evaluating a range of possible outcomes and considering future economic

conditions. The reasonable and supportable forward looking information is

based on the Group's and the Bank's research arm, Maybank Kim Eng

("MKE"). In addition, the MKE research’s assumptions and analysis are

also based on the collation of macroeconomic data obtained from various

sources such as, but not limited to regulators, government and foreign

ministries as well as independent research organisations.

Where applicable, the Bank incorporate forward-looking adjustments in

credit risk factors of PD and LGD used in ECL calculation; taking into

account the impact of multiple probability-weighted future forecast

economic scenarios.

Embedded in ECL is a broad range of forward-looking information as

economic inputs, such as:

Impairment of financial assets (Policy applicable before 1 January 2018)

The Bank assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective

evidence that a financial asset, including security or a group of securities

(other than financial assets at FVTPL) is impaired. A financial asset or a group

of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if and only if, there is objective

evidence of impairment as a result of one (1) or more events that has occurred

after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred loss event) and that loss

event(s) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial

asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

Evidence of impairment may include indications that the customer or a group

of customers experiencing significant financial difficulty, the probability that

they will enter bankruptcy or other reorganisation, default or delinquency in

profit or principal payments or where observable data indicates that there is a

measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in

economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

Impairment process – individual assessment

Classification of financing and advances as impaired

Financing and advances are classified as impaired when:

Principal or profit or both are past due more than three (3) months; or

Financing and advances in arrears for less than three (3) months

which exhibit indications of credit weaknesses; or

Impaired financing and advances has been rescheduled or

restructured, the financing and advances will continue to be classified

as impaired until repayments based on the rescheduled or

restructured terms have been observed continuously for a period of

six (6) months; or

Default occurs for repayments scheduled on intervals of three (3)

months or longer.

The Bank assesses if objective evidences of impairment exist for

financing and advances which are deemed to be individually significant.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred,

the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the carrying

amount of the financing and advances and the present value of the

estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective yield/profit

rate of the financing and advances. The carrying amount of the financing

and advances is reduced through the use of an impairment allowance

account and the amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the

income statement.

Impairment process – collective assessment

Impairment process – subsequent measurement

Estimates of changes in future cash flows for a group of assets should

reflect and be directionally consistent with changes in related observable

data from period to period. The methodology and assumptions used for

estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Bank to reduce

any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss

increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the

impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is

increased or written back by adjusting the allowances for impairment

losses on financing and advances account.


Financing and advances which are not individually significant and that

have been individually assessed with no evidence of impairment loss are

grouped together for collective impairment assessment. These financing

and advances are grouped within similar credit risk characteristics for

collective assessment, whereby data from the financing and advances

portfolio (such as credit quality, levels of arrears, credit utilisation,

financing to collateral ratios etc.) and concentrations of risks (such as the

performance of different individual groups) are taken into consideration.

Future cash flows in a group of financing and advances that are

collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated based on the historical

loss experience of the Bank. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the

basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions

that do not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is

based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that

do not currently exist.

Impairment process – written-off accounts

(ii) Other receivables

If in a subsequent year, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and

the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the

impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment

loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does

not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal

is recognised in the income statements.


When there is no realistic prospect of future recovery, the financing and

advances are written-off against the related allowance for impairment.

Such financing and advances are written-off after the necessary

procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been

determined. Subsequent recoveries of the amounts which were previously

written-off are recognised in the income statement under the caption of

'allowances for impairment losses on financing and advances'.

To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss

on financial assets has been incurred, the Bank consider factors such as

the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the

borrower and default or significant delay in payments.


(cont'd.)

If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured

as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present

value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s

original effective profit rate. The carrying amount of the financial asset is

reduced through the use of an impairment allowance account and the

amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the income statements.

(2) Financial investments available-for-sale ("AFS")


For financial investments AFS, the Bank assesses at each reporting date

whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of

investments is impaired.

In the case of equity investments classified as financial investments AFS,

the objective evidence would include a "significant" or "prolonged" decline

in the fair value of the investment below its cost. The Bank treats

"significant" generally as 25% and "prolonged" generally as four (4)

consecutive quarters. When there is evidence of impairment, the

cumulative loss (which is measured as the difference between the

acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any accumulated

impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in the income

statement) that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is

reclassified from equity to income statement. Impairment losses on equity

investments are not reversed through the income statement; increases in

the fair value after impairment are recognised in other comprehensive

income.

For unquoted equity securities carried at cost, impairment loss is

measured as the difference between the securities' carrying amount and

the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current

market rate of return for similar securities.


(cont'd.)

The amount of impairment loss for unquoted equity securities is

recognised in the income statement and such impairment losses are not

reversed subsequent to its recognition until actual cash is received.

For quoted equity securities, its impairment losses are not reversed

subsequent to its recognition until such equities are disposed.

(e)

(2) Financial investments available-for-sale ("AFS") (cont'd.)

(3) Financial investments held-to-maturity ("HTM")

In the case of debt instruments classified as financial investments AFS,

the impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial

investments HTM. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the

cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortised cost

and the current fair value, less any accumulated impairment loss on that

investment previously recognised in the income statement.

Future profit income continues to be accrued based on the reduced

carrying amount of asset by using the rate of profit which is used to

discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the

impairment loss. If in a subsequent year, the fair value of a debt

instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an

event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the income

statement, the impairment loss is reversed through the income statement.

For financial investments HTM, the Bank assesses at each reporting date

whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of

investments is impaired. If there is objective evidence of impairment on

financial investments HTM, impairment loss is measured as the difference

between the carrying amount of the financial investments HTM and the

present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original

effective yield rate of the financial investments HTM. The carrying amount

of the financial investments HTM is reduced through the use of an

impairment allowance account and the amount of the impairment loss is

recognised in the income statement.

Subsequent reversals in the impairment loss are recognised when the

decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the

impairment loss was recognised. The reversal should not result in the

carrying amount of the asset that exceeds what its amortised cost would

have been at the reversal date had the impairment not been recognised.

The reversal is recognised in the income statement.

•

•

•

Significant change in the profit rate;

Change in the currency the financing in denominated in; and

Insertion of collateral, other security or credit enhancements that

significantly affect the credit risk associated with the financing.

If the terms are substantially different, the Bank derecognise the original

financial asset and recognise a 'new' asset at fair value and recalculate a new

effective profit rate for the asset. The date of renegotiation is consequently

considered to be the date of initial recognition for impairment calculation

purposes, including for the purpose of determining whether a significant

increase in credit risk has occurred. However, the Bank also assess whether

the new financial asset recognised is deemed to be credit-impaired at initial

recognition, especially in circumstances where the renegotiation was driven by

the debtor being unable to make the originally agreed payments. Differences

in the carrying amount are also recognised in the income statements as a gain

or loss on derecognition.


The Bank sometimes renegotiate or otherwise modify the contractual cash

flows of financing to customers. When this happens, the Bank assess whether

or not the new terms are substantially different to the original terms. The Bank

do this by considering, among others, the following factors:

If the customer is in financial difficulty, whether the modification merely

reduces the contractual cash flows to amounts the borrower is expected

to be able to pay;

Whether any substantial new terms are introduced, such as a profit

share/equity-based return that substantially affects the risk profile of the

financing;

Significant extension of the financing term when the customer is not in

financial difficulty;

(i)

(f) Modification of financing (cont'd.)

(g) Reclassification of financial assets (Policy applicable before 1 January

2018)

The Bank may choose to reclassify non-derivative assets out of the financial

assets at FVTPL category, in rare circumstances, where the financial assets

are no longer held for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the short term.

In addition, the Bank may also choose to reclassify financial assets that would

meet the definition of financing and receivables out of the financial assets at

FVTPL or financial investments AFS if the Bank has the intention and ability to

hold the financial asset for the foreseeable future or until maturity.

Reclassifications are made at fair value as at the reclassification date,

whereby the fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost, as applicable.

For a financial asset reclassified out of the financial investments AFS, any

previous gain or loss on that asset that has been recognised in equity is

amortised to the income statement over the remaining life of the asset using

the effective yield method. Any difference between the new amortised cost

and the expected cash flows is also amortised over the remaining life of the

asset using the effective yield method. If the asset is subsequently determined

to be impaired, then the amount recorded in equity is recycled to the income

statement.

Reclassification is at the election of management, and is determined on an

instrument-by-instrument basis. The Bank did not reclassify any financial

instrument into the FVTPL category after initial recognition or reclassify any

financial instrument out of financial investments AFS during the financial year

ended 31 December 2017.


If the terms are not substantially different, the renegotiation or modification

does not result in derecognition, and the Bank recalculate the gross carrying

amount based on the revised cash flows of the financial asset and recognises

a modification gain or loss in the income statements. The new gross carrying

amount is recalculated by discounting the modified cash flows at the original

effective profit rate (or credit-adjusted effective profit rate for purchased or

originated credit-impaired financial assets).

Financial liabilities are classified as held-for-trading if they are incurred for

the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category includes

derivatives entered into by the Bank that do not meet the hedge

accounting criteria.

Gains or losses on financial liabilities HFT are recognised in the income

statements.

With the adoption of MFRS 9 effective 1 January 2018, the Bank do not

change the initial recognition and subsequent measurement of financial

liabilities at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL are

designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in

MFRS 139 are satisfied.

All financial liabilities are initially recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that

the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provision of the instruments. This

includes regular way trades: purchases or sales of financial assets that require

delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or

convention in the market place.

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual

arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability. All

financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value plus directly attributable

transaction costs, except in the case of financial liabilities at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other

financial liabilities.

customers, investment accounts of customers and deposits and

placements from banks and other financial institutions measured at

amortised cost is recognised as it is accrued using the effective yield

method.

Debt securities issued by the Bank are classified as financial liabilities

or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual terms of

the instruments. The Bank's debt securities issued consist of

subordinated sukuk, capital securities and term fundings.

These debt securities are classified as liabilities in the statement of

financial position as there is a contractual obligation by the Bank to

make cash payments of either principal or profit or both to holders of

the debt securities and that the Bank is contractually obliged to settle

the financial instrument in cash or another financial instrument.

(iv) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

(a)

The financial assets and financial liabilities of the Bank that are subject to

offsetting, enforceable master netting arrangements and similar agreements are

disclosed in Note 39.

Derivative financial instruments

The Bank trades derivatives such as profit rate swaps, foreign exchange

swap, forward foreign exchange contracts and options on profit rates and

foreign currencies.

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value. For non-

option derivatives, their fair value are normally zero or negligible at inception.

For purchased or written options, their fair value are equivalent to the market

premium paid or received. The derivatives are subsequently remeasured at

their fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active

markets, including recent market transactions and valuation techniques that

include discounted cash flow models and option pricing models, as

appropriate. All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive

and as liabilities when fair value is negative. Changes in the fair value of any

derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised

immediately in the income statement.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is

discharged, cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is

replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or

the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange

or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the

recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying amount of

the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in the

income statement.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in

the statement of financial position of the Bank if there is a current legal enforceable

right to offset the recognised amount and there is an intention to settle on a net

basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

undertaking the hedge and the method that will be used to assess the

effectiveness of the hedging relationship at inception and on ongoing basis.

Hedges that meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for, as

described below:

For designated and qualifying fair value hedges, the cumulative change in

the fair value of a hedging instrument is recognised in the income

statement. Meanwhile, the cumulative change in the fair value of the

hedged item attributable to the risk hedged is recorded as part of the

carrying amount of the hedged item in the statement of financial position

and is also recognised in the income statement.

For fair value hedges relating to items carried at amortised cost, any

adjustment to carrying amount is amortised over the remaining term of the

hedge using the effective yield method. Effective yield rate amortisation

may begin as soon as an adjustment exists and no later than when the

hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value

attributable to the risk being hedged. If the hedged item is derecognised,

the unamortised fair value adjustment is recognised immediately in the

income statement.

Hedge accounting

The Bank uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to profit rate,

foreign currency and credit risks. In order to manage these particular risks, the

Bank applies hedge accounting for transactions which meet specified criteria.

(b)

(1) Fair value hedge (cont'd.)

(2) Cash flow hedge

(3)

The Bank did not apply cash flow hedge as at end of the current and

previous financial year.

Net investment hedge

Net investment hedge including a hedge of a monetary item that is

accounted for as part of the net investment, are accounted for in a way

similar to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument

relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in other

comprehensive income, while any gain or loss relating to the ineffective

portion is recognised immediately in the income statement.

On disposal of the foreign operations, the cumulative amount of any such

gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred

to the income statement.

Hedge accounting (cont'd.)

The Bank did not apply fair value hedge as at the end of the current and


For designated and qualifying cash flow hedges, the effective portion of

the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in other

comprehensive income in the cash flow hedge reserve, while any

ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is

recognised immediately in the income statement.

When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold, terminated, exercised or

when the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any

cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive

income remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs

or the foreign currency commitment is met.

When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the

cumulative gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income

is immediately transferred to income statement.

(v) Embedded derivatives (Policy applicable before 1 January 2018)

(vi) Embedded derivatives (Policy applicable from 1 January 2018)

(vii) Other assets

(viii) Cash and short-term funds

Cash and short-term funds in the statement of financial position comprise cash

balances and deposits with financial institutions and money at call with a maturity

of one month or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

The Bank did not apply cash flow hedge as at end of the current and


Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are treated as separate

derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are

not closely related to those of the host contract, and the host contract is not itself

held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss. The embedded

derivatives separated from the host are carried at fair value in the trading portfolio

with changes in fair value recognised in the income statement.

From 1 January 2018, embedded derivatives are no longer separated from a host

financial asset. Instead, the Bank classify financial assets based on the business

model and their contractual terms as outlined in Note 2.2(i).

The accounting for derivatives embedded in financial liabilities and in non-financial

host contracts under MFRS 9 is the same as when it was under MFRS 139.

Included in other assets are other debtors, amount due from brokers and clients,

prepayments and deposits and tax recoverable.

Other assets are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written-off

when identified. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all

outstanding balances as at the reporting date.

(viii) Cash and short-term funds (cont'd.)

(ix) Impairment of non-financial assets

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents

comprise of cash and short-term funds, and deposits and placements with financial

institutions, with the original maturity of three (3) months or less.

The carrying amounts of non-financial assets, are reviewed at each reporting date

to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If there is such

indication or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Bank

estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the

higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit ("CGU")'s fair value less costs to sell

and its value-in-use ("VIU"). When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU

exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered to be impaired and is

written-down to its recoverable amount.

For other non-financial assets, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to

whether any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer

exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Bank estimates the

asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is

reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the

asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The

reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its

recoverable amount, nor exceeds the carrying amount that would have been

determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, had no impairment loss been

recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the income

statement.

The Bank bases its VIU calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations,

which are prepared separately for each of the Bank's CGU to which the individual

assets are allocated. In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are

discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current

market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken

into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation

model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted

share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.

787435-M





(x) Provisions

(xi) Foreign currencies

(a) Functional and presentation currency

(b) Foreign currency transactions

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on

translating monetary items at the reporting date are recognised in the income

statement.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at

historical cost are translated using the spot exchange rates as at the dates of

the initial transactions. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies

measured at fair value are translated using the spot exchange rates at the

date when the fair value was determined.

Provisions are recognised when the Bank has a present obligation (legal or

constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of

resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and

a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the

provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle

the obligation. Any increase in the provision due to the passage of time is

recognised in the income statement.

Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current

best estimate. Where it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources

embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision

is reversed and recognised in income statement.

The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia ("RM") which is the

Bank's functional and presentation currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional

currencies of the Bank and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional

currencies at exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction

dates.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are

translated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange at the reporting

date.

(xii) Income and deferred taxes

(a) Income tax

(b) Deferred tax

(i)

(ii)

Details of income taxes for the Bank are disclosed in Note 32.

Deferred tax is recognised in full, using the liability method, on temporary

differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their

carrying amounts at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except:

when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill

or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business

combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the

accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in

subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of

the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is

probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable

future.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried

at fair value are included in the income statement for the financial year except

for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect

of which gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Current tax assets/recoverable and current tax liabilities/provisions are

measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation

authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those

that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Income taxes for the year comprises current and deferred taxes.

Current tax expense relating to items recognised directly in equity, is

recognised in other comprehensive income or in equity and not in the income

statements.

787435-M





(xii) Income and deferred taxes (cont'd.)

(b) Deferred tax (cont'd.)

(i)

(ii)

Details of deferred tax assets and liabilities are disclosed in Note 18.

when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary

difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a

transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the

transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;

and

in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with

investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures,

deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable

that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and

taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can

be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date

and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable

profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be

utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting

date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future

taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are

expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is

settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or

substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside income statement is

recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other

comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally

enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax

liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the

same taxation authority.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences,

carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it

is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible

temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused

tax losses can be utilised except:

(xiii)

(xiv) Fair value measurement

• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

•

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Bank.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that

market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that

market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market

participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest

and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset

in its highest and best use.

The Bank uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and

for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of

relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Zakat

This represents business zakat payable by the Bank to comply with the principle of

Shariah. Zakat provision is calculated based on 'Adjusted Growth' method, at

2.5%. The beneficiaries of the zakat fund are determined by the Zakat Committee

and subject to the approval of the Shariah Committee.

The Bank measures financial instruments such as financial assets at FVTPL,

financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, financial investments FVOCI, financial

investments AFS and derivatives at fair value at each statement of financial

position date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a

liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement

date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction

to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the

asset or liability.

92

787435-M





(xiv) Fair value measurement (cont'd.)

•

•

• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is

significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a

recurring basis, the Bank determines whether transfers have occurred between fair

value hierarchy levels by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level

input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of

each reporting period.

The fair value hierarchies of financial instruments that are measured at fair value

are disclosed in Note 38(c).

While the fair value hierarchies of financial instruments that are not measured at

fair value, for which the fair value is disclosed are presented in Note 38(g).

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the

financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as

follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value

measurement as a whole:

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical

assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is

significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

Handling fees paid to motor vehicle dealers for Islamic hire purchase financing are

amortised in the income statement over the tenure of the financing in accordance

with BNM's Circular on "Accounting Treatment of Handling Fees for Hire Purchase

Financing" dated 16 October 2006 and is set off against income recognised on the

Islamic hire purchase financing.

Financing and related expense recognition

Finance cost and income attributable to deposits, investment accounts and term

fundings of the Bank are amortised using the effective yield method.

The effective yield method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a

financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the finance income over the

relevant period. The effective yield rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated

future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial

instruments or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of

the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective yield/profit

rate, the Bank takes into account all contractual terms of the financial instrument

and includes any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the

instrument and are an integral part of the effective profit rate, but does not consider

future credit losses.

Profit on impaired financial assets is recognised using the rate of profit used to

discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.

Profit income and expense from the business are recognised on an accrual basis

in accordance with the principles of Shariah.

Other operating income

Commitment and guarantee fees are recognised as income based on time

apportionment basis.

Income recognition

For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost and profit-bearing

financial investments classified as held-for-trading and available-for-sale, profit

income for all profit-bearing financial instruments are recognised within income

from financing in the income statement using the effective yield method.

94

787435-M





(xviii)

(a) Short-term employee benefits

(b) Defined contribution plans

(c) Share-based compensation

(1) Employees' Share Grant Plan ("ESGP Shares")

The ESGP Shares is awarded to the eligible Executive Directors and

employees of the participating Maybank Group excluding dormant

subsidiaries. The ESGP Shares may be settled by way of issuance and

allotment of new Maybank shares or by way of cash settlement as

determined by the ESGP Committee.

The total fair value of ESGP Shares granted to eligible employees is

recognised as an employee cost with a corresponding increase in the

reserve within equity over the vesting period and taking into account the

probability that the ESGP Shares will vest. The fair value of ESGP Shares

is measured at grant date, taking into account, the market and non-

market vesting conditions upon which the ESGP Shares were granted.

Upon vesting of ESGP Shares, the Bank will recognise the impact of the

actual numbers of ESGP Shares vested as compared to original

estimates.

Employee benefits

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as

an expense in the income statement in the year in which the associated

services are rendered by employees of the Bank. Short-term accumulating

compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when

services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future

compensated absences. Short-term non-accumulating compensated

absences such as sick leave are recognised as an expense in the income

statement when the absences occur.

As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the

Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”). Such contributions are recognised as an

expense in the income statement when incurred.

95

787435-M





(xviii)

(c) Share-based compensation (cont'd.)

(2)

(3) Employee Share Option Scheme ("ESOS")

The ESOS is an equity-settled share-based compensation plan that

allows the Bank's Directors and employees to acquire shares of the

holding company. The total fair value of share options granted to

employees is recognised as an employee cost with a corresponding

increase in the amount due to holding company over the vesting period

and taking into account the probability that the options will vest. The fair

value of share options is measured at grant date, taking into account, if

any, the market vesting conditions upon which the options were granted

but excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-

market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number

of options that are expected to become exercisable on vesting date.

At each reporting date, the holding company revises its estimates of the

number of options that are expected to become exercisable on the vesting

date.

Employee benefits (cont'd.)

Cash-settled Performance-based Employees' Share Grant Plan

("CESGP")

The CESGP is awarded to the eligible Executive Directors and employees

of the participating Maybank Group, subject to achievement of

performance criteria set out by the Board of Directors and prevailing

market practices in the respective countries. Upon vesting, the cash

amount equivalent to the value of the Maybank Reference Shares will be

transferred to the eligible employees.

The total fair value of CESGP granted to eligible employees is recognised

as an employee cost with a corresponding increase in the liability over the

vesting period and taking into account the probability that the CESGP will

vest. The fair value of CESGP is measured at grant date, taking into

account, the market and non-market vesting conditions upon which the

CESGP were granted.

Upon vesting of CESGP, the Bank will recognise the impact of the actual

numbers of CESGP vested as compared to original estimates.

96

787435-M





(xviii)

(c) Share-based compensation (cont'd.)

(4) Restricted share units (“RSU”)

(xix) Share capital and dividends declared

(xx) Contingent assets and contingent liabilities

Ordinary shares are classified as equity when there is no contractual obligation to

transfer cash or other financial assets. Transaction costs directly attributable to the

issuance of new equity shares are taken to equity as a deduction against the

issuance proceeds.

Dividends declared on ordinary shares are recognised as a liability and deducted

from equity in the period in which all relevant approvals have been obtained.

Contingent assets arise from unplanned or other unexpected events that give rise

to the possibility of an inflow of economic benefits to the Bank. The Bank does not

recognise contingent assets but discloses its existence when inflows of economic

benefits are probable, but not virtually certain.

Employee benefits (cont'd.)

Senior management personnel of the Bank are entitled to performance-

based restricted shares as consideration for services rendered. The RSU

may be settled by way of issuance and transfer of new holding company

shares or by cash at the absolute discretion of the Employees’ Share

Scheme ("ESS") Committee. The total fair value of RSU granted to senior

management employees is recognised as an employee cost with a

corresponding increase in the reserve within the holding company's equity

over the vesting period and taking into account the probability that the

RSU will vest. The fair value of RSU is measured at grant date, taking into

account, the market vesting conditions upon which the RSU were granted

but excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-

market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number

of shares that are expected to be awarded on the vesting date.

At each reporting date, the holding company revises its estimates of the

number of RSU that are expected to be awarded on vesting date.

97

787435-M





(xx) Contingent assets and contingent liabilities (cont'd.)

(xxi) Earnings per share ("EPS")

(xxii) Restricted Profit Sharing Investment Accounts (“RPSIA”)

The Bank presents basic and diluted (where applicable) EPS for profit or loss from

continuing operations attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the Bank on the

face of the income statement.

Basic and diluted EPS are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to equity

holders of the Bank by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue

during the financial year.

RPSIA placements are used to fund specific financing assets and are based on the

principle of Mudharabah whereby profits will be shared between the Bank as

Mudharib and the investors as Rabbul Mal whereas losses shall be borne solely by

the investors. These placements and financing assets are recorded in the Bank's

financial statement as its liabilities and assets in accordance with MFRS 9. Any

impairment allowances required on the financing are not recognised in the profit or

loss of the Bank but charged to and borne by the investors.

All assets financed by the RPSIA are excluded from the computation of ECL,

collective allowance and capital ratio as disclosed in Notes 8 and 41 respectively.

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events, whose

existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or

more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Bank; or are

present obligations that have arisen from past events but are not recognised

because it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or

the amount cannot be estimated reliably. The Bank does not recognised contingent

liabilities. Contingent liabilities are disclosed, unless the probability of outflow of

economic benefits is remote.

The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities which superseded all current

revenue recognition requirements under MFRS (including MFRS 111 Construction

Contracts , MFRS 118 Revenue , IC Interpretation 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes , IC

Interpretation 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate , IC Interpretation 18

Transfers of Assets from Customers and IC Interpretation 131 Revenue – Barter

Transactions Involving Advertising Services ). Either a full retrospective application or a

modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1

January 2018. The Bank adopt the standard on its effective date, using the modified

retrospective method of adoption. The standard does not apply to income or revenue

associated with financial instruments scoped in MFRS 9 such as financing and advances

and financial investment securities. The adoption of this standard has no material

financial impact.

MFRS 15 establishes a new five-step model that applies to revenue arising from

contracts with customers. Under MFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that

reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for

transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in MFRS 15 provide a more

structured approach (i.e. five-step model) to measure and recognise revenue. The five-

step model that applies to revenue recognition under MFRS 15 is as follows:

(1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

(2) Identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract;

(3) Determine the transaction price;

(4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

(5) Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The standard requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the

relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with

their customers. The standard also specifies how to account for the incremental costs of

obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. New disclosure

requirements under MFRS 15 include disaggregated information about revenue and

information about the performance obligations remaining at the reporting date.

The amendments removed a number of short-term exemptions because the reliefs

provided are no longer available or because they were relevant for reporting periods

statements upon adoption of the amendments.

IC Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

IC Interpretation 22 addresses the exchange rate that should be used to measure

revenue (or expense) when the related consideration was received (or paid) in advance.

It requires that the exchange rate to use is the one that applied when the non-monetary

asset (or liability) arising from the receipt (or payment) of advance consideration was

initially recognised.

IC Interpretation 22 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018,

with earlier application permitted. Entities are given two options to apply these

amendments:

impaired exposures (commonly known as Stage 1 and Stage 2 provisions) and

regulatory reserves of no less than 1% of total credit exposures, net of loss

allowance for credit-impaired exposures;

3.1 Going concern

3.2 Impairment of financial investments portfolio (Note 7)

(i)

The Bank’s management has made an assessment of its ability to continue as a going

concern and is satisfied that it has the resources to continue in business for the

foreseeable future. Furthermore, management is not aware of any material uncertainties

that may cast significant doubt upon the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Therefore, the financial statements continue to be prepared on the going concern basis.

The Bank reviews their financial investments at FVOCI, and financial investments AC

under MFRS 9 which required to recognise the ECL at each reporting date to reflect

change in credit risk of the financial investments not at FVTPL. MFRS 9 incorporates

forward-looking and historical, current and forecasted information into ECL estimation.

In carrying out the impairment review, the following management's judgements are

required:

Determination whether the investment is impaired based on certain indicators such

as, amongst others, difficulties of the issuers or obligors, deterioration of the credit

quality of the issuers or obligors; and

when the credit facility is classified as rescheduled or restructured in the Central

Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS) in accordance with the CCRIS

reporting requirements in Appendix 1 of the revised policy document.

Revised Financial Reporting Policy document issued by Bank Negara Malaysia

("BNM") (cont'd.)

The Bank has adopted the above classification criteria in deriving the Bank's credit-

impaired exposures, which leads to the computation of regulatory reserves and loss

allowance for credit-impaired exposures as required in (i) above.

The preparation of the Bank's financial statements requires management to make

judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported

amounts of income, expenses, assets, liabilities, the accompanying disclosures and the

disclosure of contingent liabilities. Although these estimates and judgements are based on

management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ. The

most significant uses of judgements and estimates are as follows:

Determination of ECL that reflect:

An unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by

evaluating a range of possible outcomes;

Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost

or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and

forecasts of future economic conditions.

Under MFRS 139, the Bank review their financial investments AFS and financial

investments HTM at each reporting date to assess whether there are any objective

evidence that these investments are impaired. If there are indicators or objective

evidence, these investments are subjected to impairment review.

In carrying out the impairment review, the following management's judgements are

required:

Determination whether the investment is impaired based on certain indicators

such as, amongst others, prolonged decline in fair value, significant financial

difficulties of the issuers or obligors, the disappearance of an active trading

market and deterioration of the credit quality of the issuers or obligors; and

Determination of “significant” or “prolonged” requires judgement and

management evaluation on various factors, such as historical fair value

movement, the duration and extent of reduction in fair value.

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statement

of financial position cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their

fair values are measured using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include the

discounted cash flows method, option pricing models, credit models and other relevant

valuation models.

The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but

where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values.

(i) Internal credit grading model, which assigns PDs to the individual grades;

(ii)

(iii)

(iv)

(v)

(vi)

The Bank reviews its individually significant financing and advances at each reporting

date to assess whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement.

In particular, management's judgement is required in the estimation of the amount and

timing of future cash flows when determining the impairment loss. In estimating these

cash flows, the Bank makes judgements about the borrower’s or the customer’s

financial situation and the net realisable value of collateral. These estimates are based

on assumptions on a number of factors and actual results may differ, resulting in future

changes to the allowances.

The Bank’s ECL calculations under MFRS 9 are outputs of complex models with a

number of underlying assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs and their

interdependencies. Elements of the ECL models that are considered accounting

judgements and estimates include:

Criteria for assessing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk and so

allowances for financial assets should be measured on a LTECL basis and the

qualitative assessment;

The segmentation of financial assets when their ECL is assessed on a collective

basis;

Development of ECL models, including the various formulas and the choice of

inputs;

Determination of associations between macroeconomic scenarios and, economic

inputs, such as unemployment levels and collateral values, and the effect on

PDs, EADs and LGDs; and

Selection of forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios and their probability

weightings, to derive the economic inputs into the ECL models.

Under MFRS 139, financing and advances that have been assessed individually but for

which no impairment is required and all individually insignificant financing and advances

are then assessed collectively, in groups of assets with similar credit risk characteristics,

to determine whether allowances should be made due to incurred loss events for which

there is objective evidence but whose effects of which are not yet evident. The collective

assessment takes account of data from the financing and advances portfolio (such as

credit quality, levels of arrears, credit utilisation, financing to collateral ratios etc.) and

judgements on the effect of concentrations of risks (such as the performance of

different individual groups).

Deferred tax assets are recognised in respect of tax losses to the extent that it is

probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be

utilised. Judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can

be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits, together

with future tax planning strategies.

Standards, annual improvements to standards and IC Interpretation issued but not yet

effective

The Bank is subject to income taxes in Malaysia and significant judgement is required in

estimating the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and

interpretations of tax law for which the final outcome will not be established until some

time later. Liabilities for taxation are recognised based on estimates of whether

additional taxes will be payable. The estimation process includes seeking advice on the

tax treatments where appropriate. Where the final liability for taxation is different from

the amounts that were initially recorded, the differences will affect the income tax and

deferred tax provisions in the year in which the estimate is revised or the final liability is

established.

The following are standards, annual improvements to standards and IC Interpretation issued

by Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”), but not yet effective, up to the date of

issuance of the Bank’s financial statements. The Bank intend to adopt these standards,

annual improvements to standards and IC Interpretation, if applicable, when they become

MFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (Amendments to

MFRS 9)

Under MFRS 9, a debt instrument can be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through

other comprehensive income, provided that the contractual cash flows are solely payments of

principal and profit on the principal amount outstanding (the SPPP criterion) and the

instrument is held within the appropriate business model for that classification. The

amendments to MFRS 9 clarify that a financial asset passes the SPPP criterion regardless of

the event or circumstance that causes the early termination of the contract and irrespective

of which party pays or receives reasonable compensation for the early termination of the

contract.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The

amendments must be applied retrospectively. Earlier application is permitted. These

amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Bank’s financial

statements.

During the financial year ended 31 December 2018, Maybank Group has developed its

approach for assessing the different types of leases including the exemptions covered in the

standard, incorporating forward looking information in taking certain decisions.


effective (cont'd.)

MFRS 16 Leases

MFRS 16 was issued in January 2016, sets out the principles for the recognition,

measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all

leases under a single on-balance sheet model, similar to the accounting for finance leases

under MFRS 117. The Bank will apply the standard from its mandatory adoption date of 1

January 2019 and this standard will supersede MFRS 117 Leases , IC Interpretation 4

Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease , IC Interpretation 115 Operating

Lease - Incentives and IC Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions

Involving the Legal Form of a Lease .

The overall governance of MFRS 16 project implementation is through Maybank Group's

MFRS 16 Project Steering Committee which includes representation of Finance, IT and

various Business sectors across the different regions and countries within the Maybank

Group. In addition, the Audit Committee of the Board and the Board of Directors have

provided effective oversight of the Group's progress in preparation of MFRS 16 adoption

along with the regular updates on the MFRS 16 progress and readiness.

Overall, the Bank anticipates impact to the financial statements in the areas of classification

and measurement for lease assets and lease liabilities. The classification and measurement

requirements will affect the presentation and disclosures within the Bank's financial

statements.

Amendments to MFRS 3 Business Combinations and MFRS 11 Joint

Arrangements

The amendments clarify that if an entity in a joint operation that is a business

subsequently obtains control of the joint operation, it must remeasure its

previously held interest at the acquisition-date fair value. Any difference between

the acquisition-date fair value and previous carrying value is recognised as a gain

or loss. The amendments therefore means that when the entity in a joint

operation that is a business subsequently obtains control of the joint operation, it

applies the same requirements already in MFRS 3 that apply to business

combinations achieved in stages.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January

2019, with earlier application permitted. The Bank do not anticipate significant

impact to the financial statements upon adoption of the amendments.

MFRS 3 Business Combinations

MFRS 128 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures (Amendments to

MFRS 128)

The amendments clarify that an entity applies MFRS 9 Financial Instruments to long-term

interests in an associate or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied but that, in

substance, form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture (long-term

interests). In applying MFRS 9, an entity does not account for any losses of the associate, or

joint venture, or any impairment losses on the net investment, recognised as adjustments to

the net investment in the associate or joint venture that arise from applying MFRS 128

Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures .

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Entities must apply the

amendments retrospectively, with certain exceptions. Early application of the amendments is

permitted and must be disclosed. As the amendments eliminate ambiguity in the wording of

the standard, the directors of the Bank do not expect the amendments to have any impact on

the Bank’s financial statements.

• MFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

The amendments clarify that if an entity that participates in (but does not have

joint control over) a joint operation that is a business subsequently obtains joint

control of the joint operation, it must not remeasure its previously held interest.

The amendments therefore aligns with the accounting applied to transactions in

which an associate becomes a joint venture and vice versa.

Arrangements(cont'd.)

Paragraph 14 of MFRS 123 requires an entity to exclude borrowings made specifically

for the purpose of obtaining/constructing a qualifying asset i.e. specific borrowings,

when determining the funds that an entity borrows generally i.e. general borrowings and

the funds that it uses for the purpose of obtaining/constructing a qualifying asset. The

amendments clarify that if a specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related

qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale, it becomes part of general

borrowings. Therefore, from that date, the rate applied on those specific borrowings are

included in the determination of the capitalisation rate of general borrowings

accordingly.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019,

with earlier application permitted. The Bank do not anticipate significant impact to the

financial statements upon adoption of the amendments.

(iv) MFRS 119 Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (Amendments to MFRS

period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, which occurs during the

reporting period. The amendments also clarify how the requirements for accounting for

IC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

The interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve

uncertainty that affects the application of MFRS 112 and does not apply to taxes or levies

outside the scope of MFRS 112, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to

penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments.

The Interpretation specifically addresses the following:

The amendments should be applied prospectively to plan amendments, curtailments or

settlements that occur on or after 1 January 2019, with earlier application permitted.

These amendments will not have a significant impact on the Bank’s financial

statements.

• Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately;

• The assumptions an entity makes about the estimation of tax treatments by taxation

authorities;

• How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused

tax credits and tax rates; and

• How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.

An entity must determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or

together with one or more uncertain tax treatments. The approach that better predicts the

resolution of the uncertainty should be followed. The Bank will apply the interpretation from

its effective date. Since the Bank operates in a complex multinational tax environment,

applying the interpretation may affect its consolidated financial statements and the required

disclosures. In addition, the Bank may need to establish processes and procedures to obtain

information that is necessary to apply the interpretation on a timely basis.

The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, but

certain transition reliefs are available.

Revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting

The IASB issued an update to the Conceptual Framework in April 2018. It sets out a

comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting, standard setting, guidance for

preparers in developing consistent accounting policies and assistance to others in their

efforts to understand and interpret the standards. The Conceptual Framework includes some

new concepts, provides updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities

and clarifies some important concepts. The main changes in the Conceptual Framework are

as follows:

• Reintroduces the concept of stewardship and the information needed to assess

management’s stewardship;

Amendments to MFRS 101 and MFRS 108 – Definition of Material

• Reintroduces the concept of prudence;

• Defines the concept of measurement uncertainty;

• Reinstates an explicit reference to the need to “faithfully represent the substance of the

phenomena that it purports to represent”; and

The revised conceptual framework is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1

January 2020.

• Made changes to the definitions of an asset and a liability.

Amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, or

both. An entity will need to assess whether the information, either individually or in

combination with other information, is material in the context of the financial statements.

The amendments also explain that information is obscured if it is communicated in a way that

would have a similar effect as omitting or misstating the information.

("FVOCI") (cont'd.)

The overall increase in the gross carrying amount of financial investments at

FVOCI was mainly contributed by Government-related securities which have

minimal ECL allowances.

Significant changes in the financial investments at FVOCI for the Bank that

contributed to the changes in the loss allowances was mainly due to the following:

The gross carrying amount for Corporate Sukuk increased due to new financial

assets purchased during the financial year. These new Corporate Sukuk have

low credit risk and had contributed to minimal impact on ECL allowances. The

derecognition of Corporate Sukuk which have higher credit risk contributed to

the overall decrease in ECL allowances.

Significant changes in the financial investments at amortised cost for the Bank that

contributed to the changes in the loss allowances were mainly due to following:

The increase in the gross carrying amount of financial investments at

amortised cost was largely contributed by Corporate Sukuk, due to new

financial assets purchased during the financial year which correspondingly

increased the ECL allowances. This is mitigated by the decrease in the ECL

allowances mainly due to improvement in credit risk.

impaired financing and advances are as follows:

Significant changes in the gross carrying amount of financing and advances carried at

amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive income for the Bank that

contributed to the changes in the loss allowances were mainly due to the following:

The high volume of new syndicated financing, cashline and other term financing

originated during the financial year, increased the gross carrying amount by 81%,

10% and and 8% respectively which correspondingly increased the ECL

allowances.

The write-off of financing and advances with a total carrying amount of RM432.7

million resulted in the reduction of Stage 3 lifetime ECL credit impaired by the same

amount.

(f)

(g)

Risk Management is a critical pillar of the Bank’s operating model, complementing the

other two pillars, which are business sectors and support sectors. A dedicated Board-level

Risk Management Committee provides risk oversight of all material risks across the Bank.

The Bank’s approach to risk management is premised on the following seven principles of

Risk Management:

Establishment of a risk appetite and strategy which articulates the nature, type

and level of risk the Bank is willing to assume and must be approved by the

Board.

The Management-level Risk Management Committees, which include the Group

Executive Risk Committee, Group Operational Risk Management Committee, Group

Asset and Liability Management Committee ("Group ALCO") and Group Management

Credit Committee, are responsible for the management of all material risks within the

Bank.

Ensure sufficient resources and systems infrastructure are in place to enable

effective risk management.

Capital management driven by the Bank’s strategic objectives and accounts for

the relevant regulatory, economic and commercial environments in which the

Bank operates.

Proper governance and oversight through a clear, effective and robust Bank

governance structure with well-defined, transholding company and consistent

lines of responsibility established within the Bank.

Promotion of a strong risk culture which supports and provides appropriate

standards and incentives for professional and responsible behaviour.

Implementation of integrated risk frameworks and policies to ensure that risk

management practices and processes are effective at all levels.

Execution of sound risk management processes to actively identify, measure,

control, monitor and report risks inherent in all products and activities undertaken

by the Bank.

The Bank’s policy of segmenting financial assets where ECL is assessed on a

collective basis (Note 37(b)(iii)).

The Bank considers a financial instrument defaulted and therefore Stage 3 (credit-

impaired) for ECL calculations when:

Account less than 90 days past due which exhibit indications of credit

weaknesses; or

Default occurs for repayments scheduled on intervals of three (3) months

or longer.

The Bank considers treasury and interbank balances defaulted and takes

immediate action when the required intraday payments are not settled by the

close of business as outlined in the individual agreements.

Impaired financing and advances have been rescheduled and restructured,

the financing and advances will continue to be classified as impaired until

repayments based on rescheduled or restructured terms have been

observed continuously for a period of six (6) months; or

(i) Definition of default and cure (cont'd.)

•

• breach of covenant not waived by the Bank

• customer is insolvent

• it is becoming probable that the customer will enter bankruptcy

•

(ii) Significant increase in credit risk

customer’s listed debt or equity suspended at the primary exchange

because of rumours or facts about financial difficulties

It is the Bank’s policy to consider a financial instrument as ‘cured’ and therefore re-

classified out of Stage 3 when none of the default criteria have been present. The

decision whether to classify an asset as Stage 2 or Stage 1 once cured depends

on the updated indicators at the time of the cure, and the asset no longer showing

significant increase in credit risk compared to initial recognition.

The Bank continuously monitors all financial assets subject to ECLs. In order to

determine whether an instrument or a portfolio of instruments is subject to 12-

month ECL or Lifetime ECL, the Bank assesses whether there has been a

significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.

The Bank also applies a secondary qualitative method for triggering a significant

increase in credit risk for an asset, such as moving a customer/facility to the

watch list, or the account becoming forborne. In certain cases, the Bank may also

consider that events explained in Note 37(b)(i) are a significant increase in credit

risk as opposed to a default. Regardless of the change in credit grades, if

contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, the credit risk is deemed

to have increased significantly.

When estimating ECLs on a collective basis for a group of similar assets (as set

out in Note 37(b)(iii)), the Bank applies the same principles for assessing whether

there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.

As a part of a qualitative assessment of whether a customer is in default, the

Bank also considers a variety of instances that may indicate unlikeliness to pay.

When such events occur, the Bank carefully considers whether the event should

result in treating the customer as defaulted and therefore assessed as Stage 3 for

ECL calculations or whether Stage 2 is appropriate. Such events include:

significant deterioration in customer's credit rating from initial recognition or

last reviewed date

An overview of the approach to estimating ECLs is set out in Note 2.2 Summary of

significant accounting policies and in Note 3 Significant accounting judgements, estimates

and assumptions. To ensure completeness and accuracy, the Bank obtain the data used

from Maybank Group Economist, Maybank Kim Eng, including determining the weights

attributable to the multiple scenarios as at every year end to apply on next financial year's

ECL computations.

The following table shows the forecast of the key forward looking economic variables/

assumptions used in each of the economic scenarios for the ECL calculations for financial

year ended 31 December 2018. The figures for “Subsequent years” represent a long-term

average for each scenario.

As explained in Note 2.2(i)(d)(ii), depending on the factors below, the Bank

calculates ECLs either on a collective or an individual basis.

Analysis of inputs to the ECL model under multiple economic scenarios (Policy

applicable from 1 January 2018)

Financial assets subject to ECL that have been assessed individually but for

which no impairment is required and all individually insignificant exposure are then

assessed collectively, in groups of assets with similar credit risk characteristics.

The Bank group these exposure into smaller homogeneous portfolios, based on a

combination of internal and external characteristics of the financial assets.

(e) Credit risk management

1. Credit risk management overview

Credit risk definition

Management of credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss of principal or income arising from the failure of an

obligor or counterparty to perform their contractual obligations in accordance with

agreed terms.

Corporate and institutional credit risks are assessed by business units and

evaluated and approved by an independent party within the Bank, where each

customer is assigned a credit rating based on the assessment of relevant

qualitative and quantitative factors including customer’s financial position, future

cash flows, types of facilities and securities offered.

Reviews are conducted at least once a year with updated information on customer’s

financial position, market position, industry and economic condition and account

conduct. Corrective actions are taken when the accounts show signs of credit

deterioration.

Retail credit exposures are managed on a programme basis. Credit programmes

are assessed jointly between credit risk and business units. Reviews on credit

programmes are conducted at least once a year to assess the performance of the

portfolios.

Counterparty credit risk is the risk arising from the possibility that a counterparty

may default on current and future payments as required by contract for treasury-

related activities. Counterparty credit risk originates from the Bank’s financing

business, investment and treasury activities that impact the Bank’s trading and

banking books through dealings in foreign exchange, money market instruments,

fixed income securities, commodities, equities and over-the-counter (“OTC”)

derivatives. The primary distinguishing feature of counterparty credit risk compared

to other forms of credit risk is that the future value of the underlying contract is

uncertain, and may be either positive or negative depending on the value of all

future cash flows. Counterparty credit risk exposures are managed via counterparty

limits either on a single counterparty basis or counterparty group basis that adheres

to BNM's Single Counterparty Exposure Limits. The Bank actively monitors and

manages its exposure to ensure that exposures to a single counterparty or a group

of connected counterparties are within prudent limits at all times. Counterparty risk

exposures which may be materially affected by market risk events are identified,

reviewed and acted upon by management and highlighted to the appropriate risk

committees.

• Countries;

• Business segments;

• Economic sectors;

• Single customer groups;

• Banks & non-bank financial institutions;

• Counterparties; and

• Collaterals.

The Bank’s credit approving process encompasses pre-approval evaluation,

approval and post-approval evaluation. Bank Credit Risk is responsible for

developing, enhancing and communicating an effective and consistent credit risk

management policies, tools and methodologies across the Bank to ensure

appropriate standards are in place to identify, measure, control, monitor and report

such risks.

In view that authority limits are directly related to the risk levels of the customer and

transaction, a Risk-Based Authority Limit structure was implemented based on the

Expected Loss ("EL") principles and internally developed Credit Risk Rating System

("CRRS").

In managing large exposures and to avoid undue concentration of credit risk in its

financing portfolio, the Bank has emplaced, amongst others, the following limits and

related lending guidelines, for:

The Bank has dedicated teams at Head Office and Regional Offices to effectively

manage vulnerable corporate, institutional and consumer credits of the Bank.

Special attention is given to these vulnerable credits where more frequent and

intensive reviews are performed in order to accelerate remedial action.

The Bank wide hierarchy of credit approving authorities and committee structures

are in place to ensure appropriate underwriting standards are enforced consistently

throughout the Bank.

1. Credit risk management overview (cont'd.)

Credit risk measurement

For non-retail portfolios, the Bank uses internal credit models for evaluating the

majority of its credit risk exposures. For corporate and bank portfolios, the Bank has

adopted the Foundation Internal Ratings-Based ("FIRB") Approach, which allows

the Bank to use its internal PD estimates to determine an asset risk weighting and

apply supervisory estimates for LGD and EAD.

To account for differences in risk due to industry and size, CRRS is designed to

rate all corporate and commercial customers by their respective industry segments

(e.g. manufacturing, services, trading, contractors, property developers (single

project), property investors (single property), etc.).

CRRS is developed to allow the Bank to identify, assess and measure corporate,

commercial and small business customers’ credit risk. CRRS is a statistical default

prediction model. The model was developed and recalibrated to suit the Bank’s

banking environment using internal data. The model development process was

conducted and documented in line with specific criteria for model development in

accordance to Basel II. The EL principles employed in the Bank enables the

calculation of EL using PD estimates (facilitated by the CRRS), LGD and EAD.

The Bank’s retail portfolios are under Basel II Advanced Internal Ratings-Based

("AIRB") Approach. This approach calls for more extensive reliance on the Bank’s

own internal experience whereby estimations for all the three components of Risk-

Weighted Assets ("RWA") calculation namely Probability of Default ("PD"),

Exposure at Default ("EAD") and Loss Given Default ("LGD") are based on its own

historical data. Separate PD, EAD and LGD statistical models were developed at

portfolio level; each model covering customer with fundamentally similar risk profiles

in a portfolio. The estimates derived from the models are used as input for RWA

calculations.

Maximum Exposure

The following analysis represents the Bank’s maximum exposure to credit risk of on-

balance sheet financial assets and off-balance sheet exposure, excluding any

collateral held or other credit enhancements. For on-balance sheet financial assets,

the exposure to credit risk equals their carrying amount. For off-balance sheet

exposure, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the maximum amount that the

Bank would have to pay if the obligations of the instruments issued are called upon

and/or the full amount of the undrawn credit facilities granted to customers.

Financial investments portfolio consists of financial assets at fair value through

profit or loss, financial investments at fair value through other comprehensive

income, financial investments at amortised cost, financial investments

available-for-sale and financial investments held-for-maturity excluding

unquoted shares under MFRS 9 classification.

For the purposes of disclosure relating to MFRS 7, all financial assets are

categorised into the following:

The four (4) risks categories set out and defined below and on the following page,

from very low to high, apart from impaired, describe the credit quality of the Bank's

financing. These classifications encompass a range of more granular, internal

gradings assigned to financing and advances whilst external gradings are applied

to financial investments. There is no direct correlation between the internal and

external ratings at a granular level, except to the extent that each falls within a

single credit quality band.

2. Market risk management

Management of trading activities

Besides VaR, the Bank utilises other non-statistical risk measures, such as

exposure to a one basis point increase in yield (“PV01”) for managing portfolio

sensitivity to market profit rate movements, net open position ("NOP") limit for

managing foreign currency exposure and Greek limits for controlling options

risk. These measures provide granular information on the Bank’s market risk

exposures and are used for control and monitoring purposes.

Value at Risk ("VaR") measures the potential loss of value resulting from market

movements over a specified period of time within a specified probability of

occurrence under normal business situations. The method adopted is based on

historical simulation, at a 99% confidence level using a 1-day holding period.

The VaR model is back tested and is subject to periodic independent validation

to ensure it meets its intended use.

The Bank’s traded market risk exposures are primarily from proprietary trading,

client servicing and market making. The risk measurement techniques

employed by the Bank comprise both quantitative and qualitative measures.

Equity price risk: arising from changes in the prices of equities, equity

indices and equity baskets.

Foreign exchange rate risk: arising from adverse movements in the

exchange rates of two currencies; and

Profit rate risk: arising from changes in yield curves, credit spreads and

implied volatilities on profit rate options;

Market risk is defined as the risk of loss or adverse impact on earnings or

capital arising from changes in the level of volatility of market rates or prices

such as profit rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and equity

prices. The primary categories of market risk for the Bank are:

2. Market risk management (cont'd.)

- Repricing Gap Analysis

- Dynamic Simulation

- Economic Value at Risk

- Stress Testing

PRR/RoR in the banking book is measured and monitored proactively, using the

following principal measurement techniques:

PRR/RoR in the banking book encompasses repricing risk, yield curve risk and

basis risk arising from different profit rate benchmarks and embedded

optionality. The objective of the Bank’s PRR/RoR in the banking book

framework is to ensure that all PRR/RoR in the banking book is managed within

its risk appetite.

The Bank emphasises the importance of managing PRR/RoR in the banking

book as most of the balance sheet items of the Bank generate profit income

and expense, which are indexed to profit rates. Volatility of earnings can pose a

threat to the Bank’s profitability while economic value provides a more

comprehensive view of the potential long-term effects on the Bank’s overall

capital adequacy.

The Bank is exposed to various risk associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market yield/profit rate on the financial position and cash flows. Yield/Profit

rate risk is identified, measured, monitored and controlled through limits and procedures set by the Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") to protect total net profit

income from changes in market profit rates.

The table below summarises the Bank's exposure to yield/profit rate risk. The table indicates effective average yield/profit rates at the reporting date and the periods in which the

financial instruments either repriced or matured, whichever is earlier.

Impact to revaluation reserve is assessed by applying up and down 100 basis points rate shock to the yield curve to model the impact on mark-to-market for financial investments of

fair value through of comprehensive income ("FVOCI") and available-for-sale ("AFS") portfolio:

Impact to profit after tax is measured using Earnings-at-Risk ("EaR") methodology which is simulated based on a set of standardised rate shock on the profit rate gap profile derived

from the statement of financial position of the Bank. The profit rate gap is the mismatch of rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities taking consideration the earlier of

repricing or remaining maturity, behavioural assumptions of certain indeterminate maturities products such as current and savings deposits, to reflect the actual sensitivity behaviour

of these profit bearing liabilities.

Foreign exchange (“FX”) risk arises as a result of movements in relative currencies due to the Bank’s operating business activities, trading activities and

structural foreign exchange exposures from foreign investments and capital management activities.

Generally, the Bank is exposed to three types of foreign exchange risk such as translation risk, transactional risk and economic risk which are managed in

accordance with the market risk policy and limits. The FX translation risks are mitigated as the assets are funded in the same currency. The Bank controls its FX

exposures by transacting in permissible currencies. It has an internal FX NOP to measure, control and monitor its FX risk and implements FX hedging strategies

to minimise FX exposures. Stress testing is conducted periodically to ensure sufficient capital to buffer the FX risk.

The table below analyses the net foreign exchange positions of the Bank as at 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017 by major currencies, which are

mainly in Ringgit Malaysia, Singapore Dollar, the Great Britain Pound, Hong Kong Dollar, United States Dollar, Indonesia Rupiah and Euro. The “others” foreign

exchange risk include mainly exposure to Australian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Chinese Renminbi, Philippine Peso and Brunei Dollar.

Financial investments portfolio consists of financial investments at fair value through profit or loss, financial investments at fair value through other

comprehensive income and financial investments at amortised cost.

(g) Liquidity risk management

1. Liquidity risk management overview

Liquidity risk management

The Bank has taken BNM Liquidity Framework and leading practices as a

foundation to manage and measure its liquidity risk exposure. The Bank also uses a

range of tools to monitor and control liquidity risk exposure such as liquidity gap,

early warning signals, liquidity indicators and stress testing. The liquidity positions of

the Bank are monitored regularly against the established policies, procedures and

limits.

Foreign exchange risk arises from the movements in exchange rates that adversely

affect the revaluation of the Bank and the foreign currency positions. Considering

that other risk variables remain constant, the foreign currency revaluation sensitivity

for the Bank on their unhedged position are as follows:

2018 2017

The Bank measures the foreign exchange sensitivity based on the foreign exchange

net open positions (including foreign exchange structural position) under an adverse

movement in all foreign currencies against reporting currency - Ringgit Malaysia

("RM"). The result implies that the Bank may be subject to additional translation

(loss)/gain if the RM appreciated/depreciated against other currencies and vice

versa.

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk of an adverse impact to the Bank's financial

condition or overall safety and soundness that could arise from its inability (or

perceived inability) or unexpected higher cost to meet its obligations.

Liquidity risk management (cont'd.)

Management of liquidity risk

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

The Bank has a diversified liability structure to meet its funding requirements. The

primary source of funding includes customer deposits, interbank deposits, debt

securities, swap market, bank financing syndication and medium term funds. The

Bank also initiates and implements strategic fund raising programmes as well as

institutes standby lines with external parties on a need basis. Sources of liquidity are

regularly reviewed to maintain a wide diversification by currency, provider, product

and term thus minimising excessive funding concentration.

For day-to-day liquidity management, the treasury operations will ensure sufficient

funding to meet its intraday payment and settlement obligations on a timely basis.

Besides, the process of managing liquidity risk also includes:

Conducting Contingency Funding Plan ("CFP") testing to examine the

effectiveness and robustness of the plans to avert any potential liquidity

disasters affecting the Bank's liquidity soundness and financial solvency.

Maintaining a sufficient amount of unencumbered high quality liquidity buffer as

a protection against any unforeseen interruption to cash flows;

Managing short and long-term cash flows via maturity mismatch report and

various indicators;

Monitoring depositor concentration at the Bank levels to avoid undue reliance

on large depositors;

Managing liquidity exposure by domestic and significant foreign currencies;

Diversifying funding sources to ensure proper funding mix;

Conducting liquidity stress testing under various scenarios as part of prudent

liquidity control;

Maintaining a robust contingency funding plan that includes strategies, decision-

making authorities, internal and external communications and courses of action

to be taken under different liquidity crisis scenarios; and

Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal

processes, people and systems or from external events. This definition includes legal

risk, but excludes strategic and reputational risk.

The Bank's operational risk management is premised on the three lines of defence

concept. Risk taking units (Strategic Business Unit), as first line of defence are primarily

responsible for the day-to-day management of operational risks within their respective

business operations. They are responsible for establishing and maintaining their

respective operational manuals and ensuring that activities undertaken by them comply

with the Bank's operational risk management framework.

The Operational Risk Management ("ORM") team, as the second line of defence, is

responsible for the formulation and implementation of operational risk management

policy within the Bank, which encompasses the operational risk management strategy

and governance structure. Another key function is the development and implementation

of operational risk management tools and methodologies to identify, measure, control,

report and monitor operational risks.

Internal Audit plays the third line of defence by providing independent assurance in

respect of the overall effectiveness of the operational risk management process, which

includes performing independent review and periodic validation of the ORM policy and

process as well as conducting regular review on implementation of ORM tools by ORM

and the respective business units.

This disclosure provides information on fair value measurements for both financial

instruments and non-financial assets and liabilities and is structured as follows:

216

787435-M



38. Fair values measurements (cont'd.)

(a) Valuation principles

•

Refers to instruments which are regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted

prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, and those prices which

represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions in an arm’s length

basis. Such financial instruments include actively traded government securities, listed

derivatives and cash products traded on exchange.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid

to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal

or most advantageous market as of the measurement date. The Bank determines the

fair value by reference to quoted prices in active markets or by using valuation

techniques based on observable inputs or unobservable inputs. Management's

judgement is exercised in the selection and application of appropriate parameters,

assumptions and modelling techniques where some or all of the parameter inputs are not

observable in deriving fair value. The Bank has also established a framework and

policies that provide guidance concerning the practical considerations, principles and

analytical approaches for the establishment of prudent valuation for financial instruments

measured at fair value.

Valuation adjustment is also an integral part of the valuation process. Valuation

adjustment is to reflect the uncertainty in valuations generally for products that are less

standardised, less frequently traded and more complex in nature. In making a valuation

adjustment, the Bank follow methodologies that consider factors such as bid-offer

spread, unobservable prices/inputs in the market and uncertainties in the

assumptions/parameters.

The Bank continuously enhances their design, validation methodologies and processes

to ensure the valuations are reflective. The valuation models are validated both internally

and externally, with periodic reviews to ensure the model remains suitable for their

intended use.

For disclosure purposes, the level in the hierarchy within which the instruments is

classified in its entirety is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the

position's fair value measurements:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and

liabilities

217

787435-M




(a) Valuation principles (cont'd.)

•

•

(b) Valuation techniques

Financing and advances at fair value through other comprehensive income

The fair values are estimated based on expected future cash flows of contractual

instalment payments, discounted at applicable and prevailing rates at reporting date

offered for similar facilities to new customers with similar credit profiles.

Refers to inputs other than quoted price included within Level 1 that are observable

for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from

prices). Examples of level 2 financial instruments include over–the–counter ("OTC")

derivatives, corporate and other government bonds, illiquid equities and consumer

financing and advances with homogeneous or similar features in the market.

Level 3: Valuation techniques for which significant inputs are not based on

observable market data

Refers to instruments where fair value is measured using significant unobservable

market inputs. The valuation techniques used are consistent with the Level 2 but

incorporates the Bank's own assumptions and data. Examples of level 3 instruments

include corporate bonds in illiquid markets, private equity investments and financing

and advances priced primarily based on internal credit assessment.

The fair values of financial assets and financial investments are determined by reference

to prices quoted by independent data providers and independent brokers.

The valuation techniques used for both the financial instruments and non-financial assets

and liabilities that are not determined by reference to quoted prices (Level 1) are

described below:

Derivatives

The fair values of the Bank's derivative instruments are derived using discounted cash

flows analysis, option pricing and benchmarking models.

Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, financial investments at

fair value through comprehensive income, financial investments at amortised cost,

financial investments available-for-sale and financial investments held-to-maturity

Level 2: Valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are, or are based on,

observable market data

For financing and advances to customers, where such market prices are not available,

various methodologies have been used to estimate the approximate fair values of such

instruments. These methodologies are significantly affected by the assumptions used and

judgements made regarding risk characteristics of various financial instruments, discount

rates, estimates of future cash flows, future expected loss experience and other factors.

Changes in the assumptions could significantly affect these estimates and the resulting fair

value estimates. Therefore, for a significant portion of the Bank's financial instruments,

including financing and advances to customers, their respective fair value estimates do not

purport to represent, nor should they be construed to represent, the amounts that the Bank

could realise in a sale transaction as at the reporting date. The fair value information

presented herein should also in no way be construed as representative of the underlying

value of the Bank as a going concern.

The table below analyses financial instruments not carried at fair value for which fair value is

disclosed, together with carrying amount as shown in the statement of financial position:

The estimated fair values of those on-balance sheet financial assets and financial liabilities

as at the reporting date approximate their carrying amounts as shown in the statement of

financial position, except for the financial assets and liabilities as disclosed below.

(iii)

(iv) Term funding and subordinated sukuk

Deposits and placements of banks and other financial institutions

The fair values of subordinated sukuk are estimated by discounting the expected future

cash flows using the applicable prevailing profit rates for similar instruments as at

reporting date.

The fair values of deposits payable on demand and deposits and placements with

maturities of less than one year approximate their carrying amount due to the relatively

short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of fixed deposits and placements

with remaining maturities of more than one year are estimated based on discounted

cash flows using applicable rates currently offered for deposits and placements with

similar remaining maturities.

The fair values of variable rate financing and advances are estimated to approximate

their carrying values. For fixed rate financing, the fair values are estimated based on

expected future cash flows of contractual instalment payments, discounted at

applicable and prevailing rates at reporting date offered for similar facilities to new

customers with similar credit profiles. In respect of impaired financing, the fair values

are deemed to approximate the carrying values which are net of impairment

allowances.

Fair values of securities that are actively traded are determined by quoted bid prices.

For non-actively traded securities, independent broker quotations are obtained. Fair

values of equity securities are estimated using a number of methods, including

earnings multiples and discounted cash flows analysis. Where discounted cash flows

technique is used, the estimated future cash flows are discounted using applicable

prevailing market or indicative rates of similar instruments at the reporting date.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values of the following

classes of financial instruments.

40. Capital management

•

• Support the Bank's credit rating from local and foreign rating agencies;

•

• Remain flexible to take advantage of future opportunities; and

• Build and invest in businesses, even in a reasonably stressed environment.

The quality and composition of capital are key factors in the Board and senior

management’s evaluation of the Bank’s capital adequacy position. The Bank places strong

emphasis on the quality of its capital and, accordingly, holds a significant amount of its

capital in the form of common equity which is permanent and has the highest loss

absorption capability on a going concern basis.

The Bank’s capital management is guided by the Bank Capital Management Framework to

ensure that capital is managed on an integrated approach and ensure a strong and flexible

financial position to manage through economic cycles across the Bank.

The Bank's capital management is also supplemented by Bank Annual Capital Plan to

facilitate efficient capital levels and utilisation across the Bank. The plan is updated on an

annual basis covering at least a three year horizon and approved by the Board for

implementation at the beginning of each financial year. The Bank Annual Capital Plan is

reviewed by the Board semi-annually in order to keep abreast with the latest development

on capital management and also to ensure effective and timely execution of the plans

contained therein.

Deploy capital efficiently to businesses to support the Bank's strategic objectives and

optimise returns on capital;

The Bank’s approach to capital management is driven by its strategic objectives and takes

into account all relevant regulatory, economic and commercial environments in which the

Bank operates. The Bank regards having a strong capital position as essential to the

Bank's business strategy and competitive position. As such, implications on the Bank's

capital position are taken into account by the Board and senior management prior to

implementing major business decisions in order to preserve the Bank's overall capital

strength.

The Bank's key thrust of capital management are to diversify its sources of capital; to

allocate and deploy capital efficiently, guided by the need to maintain a prudent relationship

between available capital and the risks of its underlying businesses; and to meet the

expectations of key stakeholders, including investors, regulators and rating agencies. In

addition, the Bank's capital management is also implemented with the aim to:

Ensure adequate capital ratios at all times, at levels sufficiently above the minimum

regulatory requirements across the Bank;

CET1 capital ratio 16.368% 14.500%Tier 1 capital ratio 17.984% 16.150%Total capital ratio 22.545% 20.782%

Pursuant to Bank Negara Malaysia's ("BNM") Capital Adequacy Framework for Islamic

Banks (Capital Components) issued on 2 February 2018, all financial institutions shall hold

and maintain at all times, the minimum Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio of 4.5%, Tier 1 Ratio of

6%, and Total Capital Ratio of 8%. BNM has also introduced additional capital buffer

requirements which comprises Capital Conservation buffer of 2.5% of total RWA and

Countercyclical Capital Buffer ranging between 0% - 2.5% of total RWA. The framework

also provides further guidance on the computation approach and operations of the

Countercyclical Capital Buffer ranging between 0% - 2.5%.

In addition, as banking institutions in Malaysia evolve to become key regional players and

identified as systemically important, BNM will assess at a later date the need to require

large banking institutions to operate at higher levels of capital, commensurate with their

size, extent of cross-border activities and complexity of operations.

The capital adequacy ratios of the Bank as at the reporting dates, are as follows:

The capital adequacy ratio of the Bank are computed in accordance with BNM's

Capital Adequacy Framework for Islamic Banks (Capital Components) and Capital

Adequacy Framework for Islamic Banks (Risk-Weighted Assets) both issued on 2

February 2018. The total RWA are computed based on the following approaches:

The minimum regulatory capital adequacy requirements for CET1, Tier 1 and Total

Capital are 4.5%, 6.0% and 8.0% of total RWA for the current financial year ended 31

December 2018 (2017: 4.5%, 6.0% and 8.0% of total RWA).

42. Shariah disclosures

(a) Shariah governance

The Bank has put in place a sound Shariah governance framework to ensure strict

adherence to Shariah requirements in its processes. A dedicated Shariah Committee

("SC") provides Shariah oversight on all material Shariah non-compliance risks across

the Bank. Supporting the SC is the Shariah Risk Management and Shariah Review

and Compliance ("SRC") that provides the day-to-day oversight of the Shariah

compliance within the Bank. Underpinning the governance framework is the detailed

policies and procedures that includes the required steps to ensure that each

transaction executed by the Bank complies with Shariah requirements. A dedicated

internal audit team was also established to provide the required check and balance in

ensuring strict compliance with the policies and procedures.

Any transaction suspected as Shariah non-compliant will be escalated to the SC for

deliberation and decision whether any Shariah requirements have been breached.

Shariah Risk Management will track on the incident and rectification status, and ensure

timely reporting to the SC, Board and Bank Negara Malaysia. For any Shariah non-

compliant transactions, the related income will be purified by channelling the amount to

an approved charitable organisation.

In accordance with BNM's guideline on the recognition and measurement of Restricted

Profit Sharing Investment Account ("RPSIA") and Investment Account ("IA") as Risk

Absorbent, the credit risk on the assets funded by the RPSIA and IA are excluded from

capital adequacy ratios calculation.

The breakdown of RWA by each major risk categories for the Bank are as

follows:
